I have a blown lower door speaker. So without reading too much into the details i went ahead and bought replacment speakers for the doors in my 96 convertible. I ended up buying polk speakers but the problem is that they are 4 ohms vs the 2 ohms that the system is set up to run on. The polk's are 5x7's (i know not the right size) but i can mount them with a little work. That isnt the problem. Im now debating on weather to just replace the one blown speaker in the door with a factory piece. I need peoples opinions on this. Im also setting up a subwoofer combo so that i dont blow any more speakers. What should i do?

Cliff notes -

Blown lower door speaker, bought polks wondering if i should replace with a stock piece instead of the polks because of ohm difference

Thanks,

Andy

 

do you still have the factory deck in the car?

 

No, I have a panasonic head unit in it.

 

you can always play with the ohms you know

 

Im a noob when it comes to electronics so i would have no idea where to start.

 

are your speakers running of the head unit or amps

 

Everything at the moment is running off of the stock system through the stock amps. I have the polk speakers and sub/amp still sitting in their factory boxes.

 

if both of your speakers you bought r 4 ohms u can wire them in together off the same channel that will drop the ohms down to 2 ohms or get rid of the stock setup and go after market in my stang of my speakers and componets are run of a concept 4 channel amp that way u can set the frequency of the speakers u can put as muc or as little bass through them so u dont blow them
